🌿✨ What an amazing weekend here at New Life Trails Ministries ,one filled with both joy and sorrow, but also so much love and celebration.

We gathered to honor the life of our beloved horse, Kidder, who recently passed on. It was a beautiful, bittersweet time. The sound of laughter and the sight of children riding again reminded us that even after such a deep loss, life and joy still flow through the trails.

Kidder was so very special to us. He carried children, lifted spirits, and partnered with us in ministry in ways words can hardly capture. His absence leaves an ache, but even now he continues to teach us. Watching the kids who loved him dearly “get back in the saddle” was a powerful reminder that we must keep pressing forward with courage and faith.

Even after death, Kidder’s lessons remain, of resilience, of love, and of the strength God gives us to keep going. Though it was a bittersweet moment, it was also a beautiful one.

💛 Bless you all, from the New Life Trails Ministries 🐴

New Life Trails experienced a great loss and has a great emptiness today as it said goodbye to a magnificent therapy horse. Kidder had been with us for 7 years as a therapy horse. He was our number one starter horse with children. He was so easy to love and children connected with him instantly. I don’t even know how we will touch the hearts of the children that only he could touch. As God brought him to us, He will now fill this emptiness that has endless depth.

Join us on Sunday, August 24th at 5:00 PM as we celebrate the life of our beloved horse, Kidder.
He was more than a horse, he was a partner in ministry, faithfully serving God’s kingdom and leaving lasting hoof prints on every heart he touched.

Everyone is welcome as we honor his life, remember the joy he brought, and give thanks for the many ways God used him.
Kidder will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.

Rest

Where do I find rest from the daily struggle of my enemies: Satan, my fleshly nature, and the darkness in world?

Matthew 11:28, 29
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest for your souls

Entering the rabbit area of the Trails, these two twin baby goats caught my eye. They were born on my twin brother’s birthday, so it seemed right to name them after my brother’s Matt and Mark. Matt had the light hair and Mark the darker. I thought that was pretty cool. We were delighted when they were born and continue to be amused by their constant antics. Having found refuge in an empty rabbit cage, they are at rest. There are so many oppressions they face each day in their effort to explore and embrace this new world; everything from pounding hooves of horses, pecking beaks of chickens, rooting of pigs, bullying of the cows, and more. However, here in an unexpected place, they have found rest. I love it that facing eachother, they are making the shape of a heart.

Sadly, I have spent much of my journey through this life accepting counterfeits, things that look real but are not. I have sought to find peace, to find rest, to find security in the people that God has placed in my life, in the possessions I have attained, or the position that I have acquired. Therein is strife, struggle, and stumbling. With age there has been a turning to share my life with these ones and things, but marinate in my completeness in Christ alone, therein, I rest.

Dear Heavenly Father, my Abba,

Help me to remember that true rest comes from, in, and through You. Help me to not get caught up in the rush and roar of attaining possessions, position, and people’s approval. Help me remember that my life is lived for an audience of one, You. Help me remember that I am saved daily and eternally by grace through faith in You, not of or by myself unless I would boast or become weary; kinda like climbing a greased rope. Embraced in Your love, therein I rest.
